There comes a point in winter when your skin decides it has had enough. The usual serum stings. Dry patches appear without invitation. And the rich moisturiser you bought in a moment of optimism now feels like a duvet for your face.
Enter the new Fundamentals Centella Asiatica Gel Moisturiser – a lightweight 50ml formula created to hydrate dry and moisture-depleted skin without leaving it feeling greasy, heavy or thoroughly over-accessorised.
The ingredient your skin barrier has been waiting for
- Centella Asiatica has become a firm favourite in Korean beauty routines and increasingly appears in products designed for dry, reactive or uncomfortable skin.
- Niacinamide helps support the skin barrier and improve the appearance of uneven tone and texture.
- Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture in the skin’s outer layers, helping it feel smoother and more comfortable.
The moisturising base also contains glycerin and sodium hyaluronate to draw in hydration, with dimethicone helping to reduce moisture loss.
A gel moisturiser for dry skin? Yes, really
Gel moisturisers are often treated as an oily-skin-only club. This one politely ignores that rule. “Gel” describes the texture, not the guest list. The water-rich formula spreads easily and settles into a fresh, weightless finish, making it a practical choice for dry skin that dislikes thick creams.
The Fundamentals Centella Asiatica Gel Moisturiser is available in a 50ml format at a recommended retail price of R230. Find it on the Fundamentals Skincare online store and selected retailers across South Africa.
